Fantastic experience: Attending Brian Kinsella an excellent Osteopath at Mark Smith Osteopath clinic. Went in bent over in pain and had immediate relief Thoroughly recommend Brian
Thanks Nuala
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Mark for many years and can’t recommend him highly enough. He is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. Thanks to the excellent care I’ve received, my daughters now see him too. Mark has helped our family greatly over the years, and we’re very grateful for his support and expertise.
Thanks for your kind words Maritza
Fantastic experience: Would like to thank Mark for his expertise and advice following a recent back injury. 2 visits to his practice and now feeling 100% better. If you are looking for an osteopath who knows what they are doing and you can feel comfortable with I can highly recommend Mark.
Thanks Dara happy to help
Fantastic experience: Brilliant. Mark and Brian are the best. He gives 30%discount to Liverpool fans
Thanks Ger
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Mark for about 20 years i cannot explain the relief I get i went originally for a car accident but I go twice a year and it's the best money I can spend on myself and I feel like me again when I come out
Thanks Alma
Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience with Mark! I’ve had back pain over the last year since having a baby. After trying medication and physio many times, Mark identified my issue almost instantly and I am relieved of pain after just one short session
Thanks Lauren I’m glad I could help.
Fantastic experience: Mark is a superb diagnostician & osteopath. I first went to him after I’d attended a physio for 3 months for tennis elbow/ golf elbow without improvement. After taking my history & examining me he saw that the problem was neither of the above, but a bone from my lower arm was jammed in the upper arm & the 3 months-old problem was sorted. I’ve been attending him for over 20 years now and highly recommend him.
Thanks Emer
Fantastic experience: Found myself back on the table at Mark's clinic as I've been playing alot of sport lately probably way too much if I'm honestly and found myself bent over with lower back pain and tight hips for the past week. The head always tells me my playing are up but a session with Mark it's like that moment a rotten tooth has been removed.. instant relief and I'm skipping out the door again. Thanks a million Mark always amazed what one session can do for me.
Thanks Paul always there to help and great to hear
Fantastic experience: I have bin cumming to mark over 15 years now and he has helped me with my back problems .. my frozen shoulder is my big problem now and only for marks advice and help I wouldn't be back up and moving now ......Great service fully recommend him
Thanks Rory!
Fantastic experience: Very professional and accommodating.
Thank you William.
Fantastic experience: Extremely tight shoulders and very poor posture and now great posture and relaxed shoulder.
Thanks Margaret, that’s good to hear.
Fantastic experience: Been going to Brian for years. Great knowledge and always professional. Highly recommend.
Thanks David I will let Brian know, great feedback to get.
Negative experience: Brian was extremely rude and unhelpful 0 stars
Hi David, I can’t see you in the diary for that time perhaps you could make contact with me please at your convenience to discuss the above. Regards, Mark.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the result from Mark after only one session. Many thanks.
Thanks Gary, great to hear!
Negative experience: What a waste of time. I initially spoke with Mark on the phone. I explained to him that my two year old had gotten an ear infection. I asked him if that is something he could help with and he assured me that his colleague, Brian, who deals with children, would be able. Upon arriving, I explained the situation to Brian, who immediately told me that he couldn't help. He could only apologise that Mark didn't tell me that over the phone and not waste my time. My five year old also developed ear pain during the previous night, so I attempted to contact Brian before the appointment, but nobody answered the landline. I also sent a message to Mark asking him for a number to contact Brian, but he did not respond. I don't have confidence in either of them as Osteopaths after this experience. I found Brian to be quite cold. Not very friendly to people he was meeting for the first time. When I told him why we were there, he simply told me to go to the GP. I can understand that response for my five year old, who had just developed symptoms. However, my two year old was nearly clear of the illness. He first developed symptoms a week prior. We brought him to the GP and had been receiving treatment. Surely an osteopath is supposed to be able to open up drainage pathways to better able the body to clear the infection, or even to prevent this from happening again. Is that not what they do?
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry that you were disappointed with your experience.
However, we would like to clarify that we do not treat children who are suffering from an active infection or illness. In such circumstances, the appropriate course of action is to consult your GP, which is the advice that was given to you.
As parents ourselves, we fully appreciate the concern when a child is unwell, and we would expect any parent to seek appropriate medical assessment from their GP when their child is sick. It would be inappropriate and, from a professional and ethical perspective, unacceptable for us to attempt to treat an active infection, particularly in a young child.
We appreciate that this may have been frustrating, especially after attending the clinic, but our priority must always be the safety and wellbeing of our patients. Our advice was therefore given with that in mind.
We are sorry if this was not communicated clearly during your initial telephone conversation, but we stand by the decision not to treat a child presenting with an active infection and to advise that they be assessed by their GP.
We wish you and your children all the best.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and support from Brain Kinsella Osteopath over the last number of weeks. It is always good to know you are in safe and experienced hands, thank you. I totally recommend Brian and Mark for all body aches and pains.
Hi Nuala, thank you for your message, we appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Mark is a true professional who has helped me out on more than one occasion with a sore back.
Thanks Brian
Fantastic experience: I've been going to the clinic since I was 7 months pregnant and my only regret is that I haven't been earlier. Brian gave me the best support I could wish for and thanks to him in my last months of pregnancy I did not suffer from any back or hip pain as I was before. I am recommending this cabinet for everyone I know!
Thanks Farah, we appreciate the comments.
Negative experience: unfortunately, he didn't listen the full story for my back pain and left me with exactly the same pain than before. For me it was quite frustrating as I went to another osteo back in France a month later who save my summer.
Fantastic experience: Went to Mark with a bad neck pain and seen me on short notice. Top class service and extremely professional. Would highly recommend Mark
Hi David, thanks for your message and feedback.
Fantastic experience: I suffered severe lower back pain and had scans done to reveal some herniation on several discs in lower back area. I feared the worst for my back as I work quite a physical job at times. On my first consultation with Brian Kinsella he put me at ease with my fears about my back and the future. He told me we would get issue sorted and I would need to do some additional homework myself between sessions. I had 5 or 6 sessions with Brian over a 4 month period and in conjunction with the additional work and lifestyle changes I made, Brian sorted my back issue out and its back to around a 95% to 98% and will never be fully sorted due to my natural disc wear. I will now attend Brian a couple of times a year as a case of maintenance on my back. So a huge thank you to you Brian and see you soon. John
Hi John thanks for your comments and feedback
Fantastic experience: I've been attending Mark Smyth practice for a number of years for different issues, Mark is an expert in his field and professional to a very high standard. He has a great way with people and will always put u at ease. I've have recommended a number of people to go to Mark over the years and they've all had the same experience. I couldn't recommend Mark's practice high enough.
Thanks Pamela for your kind message.
Fantastic experience: Brian is an outstanding osteopath. He is extremely knowlegable and also genuinely cares about his patients. His determination to provide pain relief and solve my complex issues is second to none.
Thanks Áine, we really appreciate the feedback and support.
Fantastic experience: Brian is amazing I’ve being going to Brian for a number of years now, with different problems and he’s a never failed to find and sort the problem out each time for me, adding to the expierance, we chat about F1 and all the drama that goes with it
Thanks Jonathon we appreciate your feedback
Fantastic experience: Mark is absolutely outstanding at what he does. I've been in his clinic number of times and he knows exactly what to do to take my neck and back pain away. Can't recommend enough!
Thanks Inga, glad I could help.
Negative experience: Will never be attending this clinic again and will be recommending people to avoid. I’ve been going to see Brian now for months with pain and went in for appointment and asked him to look at some photos for me to see if he thought anything looked wrong. Brian was extremely dismissive. I showed him the photos with his reply “ and??? Do you’ve a question?? That’s like going into a bank and showing them 20 euro”. I was in a lot of pain and just wanted some guidance and he completely dismissed me. He said he didn’t want to be liable as my GP has sent me for scans which is fair and I understand but he was extremely defensive and just so rude. I had another question I wanted to ask but felt I couldn’t and was holding back tears so wanted to get out of there asap. So disappointed I received today.
I am sorry to hear we didn't meet your expectations on this occasion.
We at mybackpain.ie remain committed to providing the safest and highest possible standard of care.
While individual patient cases cannot be discussed on a public platform, it should be noted that in cases where other medical professionals have ordered scans or further investigation prior to attending our clinic, it is our policy not to carry out any osteopathic treatment or offer any clinical opinion until the results of all investigations have been provided to us.
A consultation fee is not charged in such circumstances and was not charged in this case.
We encourage any clients with questions or concerns to contact us directly at the clinic, where any concerns will be addressed.
Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend Mark enough. Brought my 14 year old son for a visit and he treated him like a gentleman. Worked wonders on him and got him back on track. Highly highly recommended
Thanks Sarah, great to hear and thanks for your comments.
Fantastic experience: I spent a full year suffering with sciatica before coming here. Despite months of physio the pain wouldn't go away... At best I got it to a dull ache. Turns out my hips were misaligned so nothing I was doing would truly fix the pain. In one session my hips were put back in alignment and I remain pain free. Cannot recommend this clinic more. My quality of life is infinitely better thanks to them
Hi Conor,
Thanks for your message and feedback.
Fantastic experience: Brian is a brilliant osteopath and lovely person. He treated me after pregnancy when I had back pain and also treated my newborn who had a tight neck causing flat head and feeding problems. He's incredibly gentle and brilliant with babies and small kids. Highly recommend
Thanks Niamh, great to hear.
Fantastic experience: I'm seeing Brian on monthly basis for endometriosis hip pain and after couple of sessions he put me back on track, reduced inflammation and pain is gone! Even for just regular stiffness in back or neck I highly recommend this treatment. He is really knowledgeable, professional and such a lovely person! Highly recommend to everyone!
Thank you Tea for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: I've been to Brian twice and each time I've had immediate relief. He is fast, efficient and has no interest in wasting any of your time. He gives great advice. I'm so happy to be home now, feeling the relief from pain. He knows what he's doing and a very nice chap!
Great to hear thanks for your feedback

Fantastic experience: Mark is absolutely amazing at his job, he knew exactly what was causing my pain just by looking at my posture, he fixed me within minutes! He's also such a lovely guy to chat with during your treatment. Highly recommended!
Hi Lynda, thanks for your comments and feedback.
Fantastic experience: I've had a series of issues with my back and arm for half my life and when my previous osteopath moved away I was recommended Brian and Mark. They have got me back on track after a small car accident and am happy to say I've found my new Osteo! 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: Have been attending Marks practice since 2006 took me two years before I found out about him, went to get help from many people beforehand but once I found Mark I now visit him once to twice a year when my neck acts up and have never looked back, total trust in him.

Fantastic experience: Great service , from a car crash injuries to me self inflicting injury on myself as a competitive crossfitter I have worked with Mark over the past 15 years to sort me out , with small niggles and injuries from the sport , always pin pointing the root of the problem be it lower back reset, pulled rotator cuff or off set hips. Always knows whats the cause and sets me right with a single session . Highly recommended
Thanks big man! Always here to help
Fantastic experience: When I first went to Mark, I had been to numerous back specialists, some twice a week with little improvement. Within four weeks, Mark had increased my range and movement and relieved my back pain; I highly recommend him.
Thanks Graham I appreciate your kind words
Fantastic experience: I'm attending Mark for maintenance treatment when I get a flare up of neck pain. My neck pain and headaches no longer rule my life. Mark is a consummate professional and truly gifted at his work,no messing around he pinpoints the problem and alleviates it. I couldn't say enough positive things about Mark and Bryan
Thanks Marilyn
Positive experience: I’ve been attending Marks practice for over ten years. I suffer with chronic lower back pain and I have been diagnosed with Grade 2 spondylolethesis. I find the only real relief I get is after my consultation, and believe me I have tried everything else available out there. I have always found the team to be very professional and really friendly . I would highly recommend for anyone who suffers with chronic pain or accute pain to visit Mark in his practice. Regards Gav

Fantastic experience: Mark sorted out a long-term lower back issue for me. I felt great after one treatment.
Thanks David
Fantastic experience: I had my second appointment with Mark yesterday and I feel like a different person today. Was able to go for a walk without any pain in my hip or foot, which is something I haven't been able to do in a long time. Would highly recommend Mark and the clinic.
Thanks Donna
Fantastic experience: I suffered with pain in my hip for about 8 years and it got so bad that I had great difficulty with normal movements like walking, going up/down stairs, bending etc. A former GAA player recomended Mark Smyth's clinic. I set up an appointment with Brian Kinsella and on the first visit he explained what he was going to do to get me back to full health. After 3 visits I left the clinic with a spring in my step pain free. I can highly recomend Brian as an osteopath to get you back fit and healthy. Con Clarke.
Thanks Con we greatly appreciate the feedback.
Fantastic experience: Really good. Highly recommended
Thank you
Fantastic experience: I was suffering with sciatica for approximately three months. It got to the point that i required an Ambulance to take me to Connolly hospital. I was given pain killers and sent on my way with no solution to my problem. A friend then recommended Brian Kinsella to me.. I spoke to Brian that day and he immediately booked me in, even though he had no available appointments. That afternoon i limped into Brian's office, twenty minutes later i walked out and hopped into my car, as if i'd never had a problem to begin with. I can't thank Brian enough and would highly recommend him.
Thanks Darragh
Fantastic experience: I went to see Brian after a friend recommended Mark's clinic, I would strongly recommend him. I was in pain with my hip for over a year and after visits to my gp, sports injury consultant, physiotherapy and 2 MRI scans I finally found reliefafter a visit with Brian. He explained everything in detail to me and after 2 visits I'm back training I really cant believe I suffered for so long & I had nearly given up on finding a cure......I will definitely go back to visit Brian again
Thanks Lyndsey
